Summer camp is supposed to be fun—unless you're in a horror movie from the '80s. This week, we take a deep dive into The Burning (1981), a slasher flick with a flaming backstory, a hedge-clipping killer, and a cast full of future stars. We talk about the wild kills, the awkward teen drama, and whether Cropsey got a raw deal or was just really into vengeance. Spoiler alert: there's a lot of running through the woods.
Join us as we roast this cult classic (pun intended), drop some horror history, and share our two cents on one of the genre's earliest post-Friday the 13th slashers.
